Water Shortage in South East
Sounds like it’s going to be a nice summer, queuing up at the local standpipe with my bucket. It’s looking likely that we in the south east will be facing our worst ever water shortage - in a long run of water shortages.
I hate to harp on about it, but how can anyone plan to build thousands upon thousands of new houses in the southeast when there is not enough water to go around for the existing houses?
Why can’t some of the land be put aside for some new reservoirs? It’s getting beyond the pail (geddit?)
Who in their right mind would want to move into a house in an area that has constant water shortages and a hosepipe ban every summer? Considering we aren’t even close to summer yet?
You also have to question the folly of building on known flood plains after the driest winter sways someone’s decision.

Wooden Garden and Patio Furniture
I have been busy of late building a new mini site within one of my domains. As ever nowadays I try to always keep my mind on selling stuff that is not harmful to the environment such as solar powered lights and wooden garden furniture that comes from sustainable teak plantation sources as well as keeping the less environmentally friendly things I use such as enamel paints sprays to an absolute minimum. I won’t say that I will only sell greener products as I too have to make a living and unfortunately not everyone is able to afford the sometimes inflated price tag that comes with keeping your conscience clear.
Not only that but it’s increasingly difficult to find products like the wooden garden furniture that I can sell. The site can only sell within its niche market, which is house and garden. Much outside of that I will not be able to sell through the site.

Horley Property To Rent
A few points to consider before renting
I suppose some questions should be asked of Horley Letting Agents also.
I wonder where someone might stand ( I know nothing about house or flat rental in Horley) if, say they were renting a Horley property that flooded due to being built on a floodplain?
Where would they stand if the road that they let their house or flat in suddenly became dangerous, noisy, dirty, smelly and uninhabitable? Would the Horley letting agent be liable? Or would the tennant dissapear down the To Let!
The main thing to ask before you rent a house in Horley is whether it has any history of flooding in the past and whether it is built on a known floodplain and might flood in the future.
Again, I welcome comments on this topic.
